Manipulation scandal
In April 2013, the Södertälje-based daily newspaper Länstidningen (LT) accused Suryoyo SAT of manipulation of a photo taken during Abdullah Güls, then President of Turkey, visit in Sweden.[2] In the picture, where Gül poses with a Syriac Orthodox archbishop and a number of representatives from the Assyrian and Syriac-Aramaic federations in Sweden, Suryoyo SAT replaced one of the Assyrian representatives with a Syriac-Aramaic one. Two days later, Suryoyo SAT apologized for the incident, saying that the involved persons had been warned.[3]
